Brinjal Curry with Curd & Garlic Podi

Yesterday for dinner I prepared this Brinjal Curry with Curd and garlic Podi which is simple and tastes delicious. I prepared this curry by using brinjals, curd and garlic. We can also add tomatoes to this curry. This curry is very diet friendly and very easy to make, quick recipe for lunchboxes.

I added garlic podi which is prepared by red chillies, coriander seeds, jeera and garlic. I learnt this recipe from my friend Tulasi. This goes well with rice, chapati and roti’s.
